For the longest time, Delaney didn't think she'd be able to attend Hemlock Academy, on account of her magic having a mind of its own. But she's mostly figured that out, and if a few ill-wishers get caught in the crossfires? She won't feel too bad.

If she can survive being in class taught by a lion shifter who swears he doesn't want her, act normal around her best friend whom she's secretly in love with but is with someone else, and learn to literally live with her twin bodyguardswho broke her heart? Maybe she'll feel like it wasn't a bad decision coming there.

It might also be helpful if she leans into more human friendships, instead of idolizing the hot gargoyle statue outside her dorm…

Gargoyles and demons and potatoes, oh my!

Its true what they say, some harems are growers, not showers. It doesnt feel too shocking that Ive matched with another mate, and Im good with these seven. The road ahead isnt the simplest, and sometimes I wish I could just move to a farm in the country and live the life of a normal conduit, but with angry pride males trying to force me into lewd public acts, a demon leaving me love notes, and a gargoyle to un-curse, there isnt anything simple about being this conduit.

With everyone declaring themselves my new roommates, its far simpler to start to build relationships the way they should have been built from the get go. Now, if only I wasnt finding out about a contractual engagement to said demon that my mother made to save the world or something, I could actually breathe for a moment.
